No, we're saying that due to extensive prior experience we expect the new government healthcare system will be more inefficient and more disappointing than the existing (mostly private) healthcare system - and that's taking into account that the latter is huge, expansive, riddled with inefficiencies, and is a disappointing product.

Just because option A sucks doesn't mean we should prefer option B which we justifiably expect will be (and is rapidly proving to be) much worse.

Oh, BTW: my nontrivial experience with the existing (mostly private) healthcare system is that it works very well, thank you very much, now please keep your hands & laws off it.
